Hey Guys, figured I'd post here for a week or so before dumping to eBay: X58 gear- Upgrading all my systems to Z77 so need to get these nice extras into someones hands that will put them to good use :) Asrock X58 Deluxe (XFire/SLI, no I/O shield) - $90 shipped Bought new a couple weeks ago, didn't g...

Simple- if you load up msconfig.exe in the start/run box, go to the boot tab it should list both and you can just delete the entry for the other drive (it is just deleting the registry key for the other drive), it found both because you must have had the old drive in it at the time you installed Win...

Through an unfortunate circumstance, I have now acquired an HP 3770k-based system and grabbed an Asrock Extreme4 to go with it for my main rig, so the Lapped W3520 and all my shiny X58 gear will be heading off to ebay 4.6g.jpg Quite surprised to see the difference in GFlops between the 4.2GHz W3520 ...

only thing I've built recently is my server IMG_0814.JPG Fan controllers minimum speed is 40% which is full system load sufficient and whisper quiet IMG_0809.JPG built it to replace an Optiplex 755 with a Core2 Duo so I have more expand-ability for storage: dual 2TB mirror'd storage, a 1TB drive for...

Good read I think i'll stick with the CX430 line, may not have quite as good performance or specs, but I usually get them $50 which you can't complain about! (Still have my first Corsair in operation from 2008 (TX750 with a few connectors melted off when I blew a Gigabyte board a couple years ago) y...

I think most of your problem is the apps that load at boot then, primarily your AV. I personally only run AV scans if I can already tell I have a virus, which is rare but I'm the only one that uses my PC (Built a separate one for the Fiancee to play the Sims :) ) Why would you load Aida64 at boot? I...

not sure if you've already gotten it, but I had a SATA III controller in my i7 system, it has great read speeds, but write speeds were in the neighborhood of 6MB/s lol I installed windows to it and then pulled it out of my system- the cheap ones don't seem to work

2Ghz OC = AWESOME! Indeed :) Stick the system out in the garage when it's cold as ballz outside. Also put a small house fan blowing on the motherboard/CPU and go nuts. Wouldn't be the first time, but I usually stick the pc in the window instead- I plan to use the basement for some Windows and doors...

Hey all, looking for a 775 board for my server, I have been using an optiplex 755, but I want flexibility to add more hard drives (Currently using 4 of 4 ports on this thing including the DVD rom) Needs to support a Q9300 and can be either DDR2 or DDR3, no Intel branded boards and a preference to Gi...
